The amount of liberties Herzog's movie takes in retelling the ill-fated 1560 Amazonian expedition in search of El Dorado is beside the point. The real movie is Klaus Kinski in the role of Don Lope de Aguirre and how closely it resembles a "Sympathy for The Devil" scenario. Which, despite what so-called accomplished movie critics tell you, isn't as spellbinding, shocking, or original, as they would have you think it is.
